The Harvest Doctor LLC began to take roots while I wrote and defended my comprehensive exam, which was a prerequisite to write my dissertation about women and education. I discovered how women in education started as seeds, unraveling and growing a nurturing/or challenging environments. On a more intimate level, I remembered my mother mowing her bright green lawn and the green beans my great-grandmother used to grow. Then, I discovered that I was, as a tender plant, taking firm root as an educator. My first harvest of organic fruits and vegetables coincided with my harvest as a Ph.D. scholar and a new mother.
